To the Saints at Kirkland, O., YsSterday-His
Sermon Attracts Wide Attention, and Is
Against the POlygamOus Portions Of
the Faith Of the MormOns.

CLEVELAND, o., April 10. = There was
large attendance at the conference of
Latter Day Saints at Kirkland to-day, the
attraction being a sermon by President
Joseph Smith against the Mormon doctrine
of pOlygamy. Mr.. Smith began his ser

and cast their lot with advocates of plural
marriages. desire TO state publicly that
am not of their number. make no personal
onslaught on those who accept the pOlyga-
NOUS clause in the Mormon religion nor
shall /. We ought to take it for granted
that God knew what he was about when
he created the world. When the world
was ready for man, God placed
ADAM AND EVE
in the garden OF Eden. If he had intend
ed two wives for Adam he would have
given them to him. When Adam and Eve
we're Joined together they were immortal
and marriage was celestial. Now there
came q time when it was necessary
to begin populating the earth over
again. Men and women had sinned,
and God wished to crush wicked
ness out of the world. Ii he had made q
mistake at the creation in giving Adam
but one wife, here was an opportunity to
reverse the order OF things and give Noah
two wives. Did he do it? No.
He commanded Noah to take one
wife, and his servants one wife.
Do not you, my brethren, believe that God
is wise enough to have improved that OPP

The speaker went on to say that Latter

OF the error OF polygamy, he said, was
found in the twenty-third and twenty
fourth verses of the second chapter OF
Genesis.

The Crops.

CHICAGO, April 2O.-Tde following is
the weekly summary of the Farmers Be.
ricr. The complaints OF drought now
cone from all parts of the winter wheat
belt, and are especially numerous in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and in nearly every
county of Illinois reports indicate that the
ground is dry and, together with the prev
alenee Of cold winds, has retarded the
growth and has caused some injury to the
growing grain. In most counties in In
diana the prospects are still regarded as tn
vorable. In Ashtabula, Delaware and
Hancock counties, Ohio, wheat fields show
injury, but in COShOctiOn, Crawford,
DaTke, Hooking, Huron, Jackson, Lucas,
Montgomery aud Sandusky the outlook is
favorable for nearly an average crop. In
most counties in Kansas wheat is in fair
condition. The winter wheat in the south
ern tier Of counties of Minnesota looks
poorly. The reports from Missouri, while
describing the need of rain, are nearly all
of favorable tenor.
